March 12, 2009, Melbourne, Australia - Researchers from Melbourne's Royal Women's hospital have uncovered a remarkable fact - that bald men are 60% more resistant to cancer than their non-bald counterparts. Professor Michael Quinn reports in the March 2009 Journal of Cancer Nursing his finding which includes data over two decades. "It's an amazing statistic", said Quinn, "we've known for some time the data pointed in this direction, but the conclusion suprised even us". Quinn speculated that since bald men have greater exposure to sunlight, this increases their serum vitamin D-3 levels, which in recent years has been known to decrease cancer susceptability.

hehe.. not going to work then if you have a thick rug on your head!

Unfortunately, bald men are more prone to heart disease :oops:

They said the study about bald men and heart disease was not conclusive. Another researcher who is well known, i forgot his name said that the case between hairloss and heart disease is rubbish. In that the main factors for heart disease are what we already know. cholesterol, blood pressure, family history etc.

Sorry Guys...

APRIL FOOLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:mrgreen:

I didn't want people ripping their wigs off.

lol

blah. thats cruel haha. Its not often we bald guys hear GOOD news about it!

actually this might have some truth to it lol. They say over masturbation is linked to hair loss. It used to be considered an old myth, but not science is showing some proof. It raises your hormone levels or something. But they also say that frequent masturbation decreases prostate risk. So hey. :-)
